This application is intended to display educational performance among Georgia's school districts. Three measures of educational performance are included: high-school graduation rate, college and career readiness (CCRPI), and adequate yearly progress (AYP). Performance in each of these categories was synthesized to create a composite index of 'overall school performance' to help identify a more holistic measure of school district performance.
The final application allows students, teachers, and statisticians alike to understand their school district's performance (in specific) while affording a more general picture of where the state stands academically. The map is color-blind friendly, and it includes interactive pop-ups to display additional information about each school district, like: percent of students receiving free or reduced lunch; CCRPI score by grade (elementary, middle, high); and superintendent salary. This further helps to visualize otherwise tabular data available on the Department of Education's website, allowing for transparency and interactivity in data reporting.
